Author: Hey everyone -sees glares- I know I'm supposed to be working on "Return" however! I have been in a slump trying to write my first novel. Any pointers would be appreciated. Anyway I decided to write this short little series about my favorite Danny Phantom couple. Enjoy.

Courtship: Day 1

Tucker let out a long sigh as he walked through the hallway avoiding the other students as they rushed passed him. Why was he so depressed? The answer could have been seen everywhere.

Red, white, and pink hearts hung from the ceiling.

Cherubs were pasted on lockers.

If that weren't enough the giant banner at the entrance was a dead give away.

HAPPY VALENTINES STUDENTS!

Yes that dreaded time had come again. It was the one day a year boys prayed to get candy from their crushes, and girls went out of their way to confess. Even though it was still four days away everyone was excited. Girls could be seen in clusters sharing baking secrets with each other. Boys bragged to their friends about the amount of chocolate they were sure to receive. All in all the buzz in the hallways was a happy one.

Which only made Tuckers mood worse.

Hefting his bag higher on his shoulder Tucker stalked to his locker. He hated Valentines day. In all of his sixteen years the only chocolate he ever got was from his mom. Sure he'd had crushes and a few girls liked him in middle school. When it came down to it though all his crushes gave chocolate to other people and the girls who liked him usually moved away before the dreaded day.

Heck Danny, who was just as unpopular as him, got chocolates from girls. They were usually from ghost girls (excluding Sam) and the chocolate tried to eat him more then once. Still it's the thought that counted.

Reaching his locker Tucker let out another sigh.

Just once couldn't he get some chocolate from someone who cared about him?

And not obligatory chocolate either.

Shaking his head at the absurdity of the thought he twirled in his locker com pulling the door open with more strength then usual. All at once the scent of flowers hit him. Tucker blinked once. Then twice. There was no way his locker was crammed full of cherry blossoms. The chatter of the hallways dimmed slightly as the flowers began to fall out onto the floor around him.

"Is this some kind of joke?" He muttered still staring at the flowers.

Looking closer he noticed a blaze of white among the pink. Reaching into his locker he dug around in the flowers until his hand met something. Pulling it out he saw it was a card. Flipping it over he read the thinly scrawled words blushing slightly when he finished.

To my love,

A flower like you is hard to find.

Each day you invade my mind.

If only if I could express my love.

Your heart would soar like a dove.

Happy Valentines Day.

Tucker stared between the flowers and the card trying to wrap his mind around everything. Someone. He had no idea who. Left him these flowers for Valentines Day? His face heated up even worse.

Okay so maybe this year wouldn't be so bad.

Author: Alright there is the first chapter. Lol. I thought roses would be too cliche so I went with cherry blossoms. Oh and the cheezy poem, well let's just say our admirer had a little help from a certain ghost writer. Laters!
